Re: Celebs you've met @ past coachella

I spotted David Hasslehoff with his 20-something girlfriend on Saturday this year, said what's up, he was in a hurry and just kind of waved.

Also, about an hour after that, we were in the Sahara and the guy who plays Jesse in Breaking Bad walked by us. One of my friends asked him if he had any meth and Jesse gave him a really serious look as if he was in character and then busted up laughing. Good times.

Re: Celebs you've met @ past coachella

In 2007 I worked security for free tickets, and I would usually work the backstage at the mainstage. I met the Arcade Fire, Lily Allen, Lupe Fiasco, and a few other bands I can't remember. These were just the "hey" type deals with a "hey" back. I saw a ton of other bands up close like RATM and RHCP.

I stopped Drew Barrymore from getting to the seating on the mainstage and I was like "Can I see your pass?" and she was like "ohhh I don't have one"...then the backstage manager guy was like "here come in" to her. She then said something like "oh, I know you're just doing your job" to me. I also checked in Cameron Diaz and Paris Hilton. I can't remember any one else at the moment. Working that coachella was hella fun.

I don't know about ya'll, but I was raised in NoHo and celebrity sightings are just not exciting anymore. I don't care, unless it's Bjork, Thom York, an undead Beatle, or something along those lines then I'll just let them be on their merry way.

Met Danny Devito in between Black Keys and Chemical Bros. on a golf cart ride, he was really sweet..asked what I was going to see and asked my name. Cool guy. Saw tons of others walking around too. Saw Paul McCartney right before Danny, and went into a full state of shock.

Any other native Angelenos feel similary?

I'm kinda the same way. I grew up on the Sunset Strip and did a lot of work for a bunch of different bands that have filtered through the venues there and at first, of course, you get the shock of meeting someone famous but after it keeps happening you realize they are just people. Nothing speical.

Add to my list this year:
Adrian Young and Gabe McNair from No Doubt during Duran Duran
Michael Costello (designer from Project Runway)
3 of the band Local Natives between the outdoor and main stages on Sat. early in the day.
The 2 teens from the TV show The Middle by the outdoor stage after B.A.D.

eh, they're people sure, but i only typically bother to introduce myself to celebrities that mean something to me (musicians primarily). i just like to offer a handshake and a thanks. they seem to enjoy that more than me hounding for an autograph or a picture.

although if i ever run into karl hyde and/or rick smith from underworld i may attempt to fellate them on the spot.

Re: Celebs you've met @ past coachella

I've met a few backstage, but honestly could care less about seeing any on the main grounds....how would you even notice? Shit, I'm focused on ---get beer---get to next show---get beer----when is next show----

Just when I think you couldn't possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this…and totally redeem yourself!

Re: Celebs you've met @ past coachella

my buddy claimed to have banged out Teresa Palmer (aussie actress) at last year's Coachella. I know he hung out with her the whole weekend because I've seen tons of picture evidence but I'm not so sure about hooking up with her. He's not the lying type so I've given him the benefit of the doubt

Re: Celebs you've met @ past coachella

I met Daedelus on friday last year outside the Mojave while Elbow was playing. We smoked the fattest spliff and talked for a good 20 minutes. Probably the most talented/humble man I have ever had the pleasure of chilling with. He killed it later that night as well
